Bobby Griffiths, 39, was arrested last year in Nottingham for the 2002 shooting of fellow Jamaican, 28-year-old Henry Norman after being linked to the scene by forensic evidence.Mr. Griffiths was arrested after forensic evidence linked him to the murder scene.His blood was found on the murder weapon while his finger print was lifted from a petrol can used to torch the victim's body.He told the court that he had been terrified into cooperating with Mr. Norman's murderers but played no part in the actual murder.The court was told that Mr. Norman, also known as ‘Dante' who was known to sell cocaine and smuggled drug from the Caribbean, was killed over a dispute between drug dealers.Mr. Norman who lived in Hillford, Eadt London was lured to a flat in nearby Stratford.He was shot three times in the chest over a stash of missing cocaine.His body was driven to a nearby estate where it was doused with petrol and torched along with his car.Mr. Griffith said he was forced at gunpoint to cooperate with other men during the killing and tried to run out of the flat after hearing a man shouting murder.He said his blood was found on the gun because the gang leader forced him to hold it and then made him purchase the petrol can from a garage which was used to torch Mr. Norman's body.Following his acquittal, Mr. Griffith was again detained and is awaiting deportation to Jamaica.
